Hi all

These look like mailboxes that have been deleted but not purged from the Exchange database. I am guessing you are backing up single mailboxes. If so Backup Exec will not stop generating these errors until you do purge them in the Exchange System Manager, or alternatively you can go in to the backup job and remove the mailboxes from the backup selection list. The third option is to suppress the messages as Mike quite rightly pointed out but that doesn't fix the underlying issue of course. If all else fails put the current job on hold and submit a new one. I suspect that will resolve the issue once and for all.

One question. Are there any other errors in the event logs relating to these users? If so what are they please?

Hope this helps?

Regards,

Paul Lemonidis.

Hey all, I recently took over the Exchange Admin role here at my job and
this is the situation. There has not been a successful backup of Exchange
2003 using Veritas Backupexec 9 for a few months now. Here is what my job
logs say:

Job ended: Tuesday, October 25, 2005 at 12:45:39 PM
Completed status: Failed
Final error: 0xa000fe2d - The backup of the item is bad.

What is happening is that these were all disabled accounts and I assume
the previous administrator deleted the mailboxes but the user accounts
were still open in Active Directory for some reason. It shows up under a
mailbox in the Veritas exchange utility but in reality these accounts do
not exist since they were deleted. Where can i manually find the database
or directories and eliminate this problem so my backups will perform?

Thanks in advance!!
